Amaizing Trek
30th June, 2023
We cannot praise our experience trekking to Mardi Himal with Sole Encounters Trek enough. Our guide Suresh and assistant guide were exceptional, displaying kindness, support, and patience throughout the entire journey. With a diverse group of varying ages and experience levels, we always felt nurtured, motivated, and above all, safe. When some members of our group fell ill, and Suresh offered invaluable assistance, discussing our symptoms, providing medication, and alleviating our concerns. Nir 's extensive medical knowledge and well-equipped supplies, including daily oxygen saturation checks, greatly relieved our anxieties. Furthermore, the guides expertly paced our hike, making even the more challenging days feel achievable. The trek itself was an absolute marvel! The breathtaking views surpassed all expectations, and the opportunity to meet fellow hikers from around the globe was truly remarkable. Undoubtedly, this adventure was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Sole Encounters for making it possible.

Icreadible trek experience and Lovely time
30th June, 2023
It's difficult to know where to start when describing my trek with Sole Encounters' Himalaya tour group—there were simply too many incredible aspects to highlight. First and foremost, as a 59-year-old in decent physical condition, I embarked on this journey with a mixture of excitement and uncertainty. One can never truly be fully prepared for a challenging high-altitude hike like the Mardi Himal trek, especially if it's their first experience of this magnitude.
However, I was fortunate to have Rajendra as our guide and Rajendra as our porter, both of whom displayed exceptional qualities. They were not only kind, respectful, and patient, but also incredibly knowledgeable about the region. Rajendra's sense of humor and ability to instill confidence and strength in me were truly remarkable.

We are absolutely thrilled with the exceptional services provided by Sole Encounters Trekking Pvt Ltd during our remarkable multi-day Mardi Himal trek. The expertise and enthusiasm of our tour guide, Samjhana, made our journey truly memorable. With patience and a wealth of knowledge, Samjhana meticulously explained every detail and ensured our well-being throughout the trek. Adding to the experience was Simran, his delightful assistant, who made our time even more extraordinary. We would also like to extend our gratitude to Sujan and the entire crew for their remarkable support. The stunning landscapes of the beautiful country and the majestic Himalayas left us in awe, while the warmth and friendliness of the local people added to the charm of our adventure. The farewell party provided an unforgettable conclusion to our trip. We are eagerly looking forward to our next adventure with Sole Encounters Trekking Pvt Ltd in Nepal!

Reliable booking -Perfect trek company,
30th June, 2023
Amazing experience smooth and reliable booking and company, and a great guides
The experience of Mardi Himal trek is already incredible on its own, but with Sole Encounters Trekking Pvt Ltd, it becomes easy, safe, enjoyable, and tailored to your needs.
We discovered Sole Encounters through Google, and the booking process was straightforward. I would recommend paying the entire amount upfront to avoid any additional charges, as mentioned on their website. The owner of Sole Encounters is extremely helpful and ensures smooth and simple planning with detailed packing lists and a helpful pre-trip meeting.
Unless you are accustomed to roughing it, I highly recommend considering the room upgrades and solo room options. These upgrades make the first three nights much more comfortable as you gradually adapt to the challenges of the demanding hike. They are definitely worth the price, particularly since the last three nights naturally become less comfortable as you ascend to higher altitudes.
With Sole Encounters Trekking, you can rest assured that they will take excellent care of you throughout the journey.

Mesmerizing Mardi Himal Trek 2023
30th June, 2023
The trek through the mesmerizing Mardi Himal Trek was an absolutely incredible experience for both myself and my girlfriend. It was a journey unlike any other we had ever embarked upon. Our guide, Prakash, played a vital role in making this adventure truly unforgettable. His friendly nature and exceptional care for our well-being were truly commendable. We couldn't have asked for a better guide.
Prakash's expertise and guidance enriched our entire trekking experience. He ensured our safety while also sharing his extensive knowledge of the region, making every step of the journey both enjoyable and informative. His presence and support were invaluable, creating an atmosphere of comfort and reassurance.
I wholeheartedly recommend this trek through the Langtang Valley to everyone, and I especially encourage you to have Prakash as your guide. His professionalism, warmth, and genuine care for his clients make him the perfect companion for this remarkable adventure.

Creating such memorable experiences
2nd July, 2023
The Mardi Himal trek was truly a 'once in a lifetime' experience for me, but I'm already planning my next adventure: the Annapurna Base Camp Trek! The allure of the Himalayan Mountains is irresistible, and I can't wait to return.
Prem, the person recommended to me by a colleague, was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process, from my initial email inquiry about the trek to my departure from Nepal. He was incredibly responsive, promptly addressing any questions or concerns I had. Upon my arrival at the Kathmandu airport, Prem personally greeted me and guided me to the hotel. He even recommended a fantastic restaurant for dinner.
The Kathmandu Tour the following morning was nothing short of amazing. We visited several UNESCO Heritage sites, including temples and palaces. After the treks, Prem arranged fantastic tours and thrilling adventure activities for us. We absolutely loved exploring Pokhara and embarking on the Annapurna trek. It was an unforgettable experience.
I am immensely grateful to Prem for his exceptional service and for creating such memorable experiences. I can't thank him enough.
